Browser Use Cloud and Platform Notes

Use this reference when the task is about Browser Use cloud, not just local browser control.

Authentication

Browser Use cloud commands require API auth.

Core command:

browser-use cloud login <api-key>

Alternative:

• use BROWSER_USE_API_KEY

Cloud browser flow

browser-use cloud connect
browser-use state
browser-use close

REST passthrough

Examples:

browser-use cloud v2 GET /browsers
browser-use cloud v2 POST /tasks '{"task":"Search for AI news","url":"https://google.com"}'
browser-use cloud v2 poll <task-id>

Use this for:

• tasks
• cloud browsers
• profiles
• workspaces
• files
• billing/platform objects exposed by Browser Use API

Tunnels

Use tunnels when a cloud browser must reach localhost.

browser-use tunnel 3000
browser-use tunnel list
browser-use tunnel stop 3000
browser-use tunnel stop --all

Typical flow:

1. start local dev server
2. create tunnel
3. connect cloud browser
4. open tunneled URL

Profiles

The CLI can sync or manage profiles for cloud usage. Commands include:

browser-use profile list
browser-use profile sync --all
browser-use profile auth --apikey <key>

MCP mode

The CLI also supports stdio MCP mode:

browser-use --mcp

Use this when another agent/client should drive Browser Use as an MCP server.
